In the match of the first round of the group stage of the Volleyball World Cup, the players of the national teams of Italy and Canada will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
Italiaballers of the Italian national team hoped that their favorite team would be able to compete for victory in the League of Nations, especially since the decisive stage of the tournament was held in the Apennines.
However, "Squadra Azzurra" disappointed fans and did not meet the expectations of the Italian Volleyball Federation. The team lost in the semifinals without a chance to France (0:3), after which it lost to the Poles in a similar manner (0:3), remaining without medals of the tournament, despite the fact that it finished first in the round-robin round of the competition. In preparation for the World Championship, the Italians held two friendly matches, in which they lost to the USA (0:3), and also defeated Japan (3:1).
Canada's national team in the last season of the League of Nations was bad.
She performed extremely badly and almost flew out of the elite division. The only Australians weaker than the Maple Leafs were the Australians who went to the Golden European League. Recently, there has been a serious regression in the game of the Canadian team, and this is due to the fact that the national team cannot find quality players to replace those who have completed their careers, and therefore the generational change in this team is most painful. As part of the Pan American Games, the Canadians were able to perform with dignity, reaching the final, but losing the supposed Cup with a score of 0:3.Statistics and figures:
- Italy is the clear favorite of the meeting; The Italians were able to win 2 of the previous 5 meetings; Canada lost three matches in a row;The last face–to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of Italy.
Forecast
In this match, our bet will be in favor of an increased total. I am sure that "squadra azzurre" will be able to please the fans with a victory, but Canada will not remain in debt and will hook at least a set in this confrontation.
